Crystal clear images and gorgeous tonality from macro to infinity. Great bokeh. Two minor limitations: focusing speed at macro range and overall limitation to 1:2 or life size with adapter. I miss OM series committment to macro photography. Those times are gone. For today's E-series philosophy, the 50mm/2 macro is simply one of the best lenses.

Best lens ever

Very crisp and clean, this lens is perfect for portraits and theatrical shots, as well as MACRO shots that take your breath away. I absolutely LOVE this lens!!

I'm in love

The customer service line is awesome. They can answer all my questions. I trust their recommendations. The fact that I can later invest in another Olympus body but still use the lenses I have is great.

I bought this lens in preparation for a friend’s daughter’s wedding. It did great. I use it for everything!!! The macro is awesome. My next investment will be the 12-60mm f2.8-4.0.

For the price, you cannot get anything better than this... it can work as a macro, portraits or general purposes lens.

Small and very light.
Portraits are awesome!!!
Macro are unbelievable sharp!!!
